It may sound simple, but failing to warn a worker of the dangers of working with asbestos will, in the event the breach leads to a worker suffering asbestosis, lead to the employer being liable to pay asbestosis compensation.
There are countless examples of this. Every year, hundreds of people in the UK successfully claim asbestosis compensation as a result of having been inadequately warned of the dangers of working with this most deadly and insidious industrial substance.
However, even when it has been proved that workers have been exposed to asbestos in the workplace, the resistance of insurers can sometimes mean that payouts are delayed.
One claimant's story typifies the experience of many. She says, "They [insurance companies] make excuses with other people, they say 'Oh, he was a heavy smoker, he smoked a lot and this or that'.
"They can't use that as an excuse in my case because my lungs don't show anything like that except asbestos.
"But even with that it's a long, long haul. It's a long fight."
Sadly, evasion, obstacle-placing and a variety of delaying tactics are frequently used by insurers eager to frustrate claimants in their search for compensation. Such cynical tactics make it essential that anyone looking to make an asbestos-related claim has the representation of a skilled and experienced personal injury solicitor.
A spokesperson from no win, no fee specialist YouClaim comments, "Some experts believe that by the year 2020, 500,000 people will have been killed by asbestosis. This is clearly an unacceptable number, but, unfortunately, due to conditions in the past, there is little we can do about this.
"However, we can help those affected claim the compensation they deserve and do our utmost to raise awareness of the asbestos threat that still exists, whether it is here in the UK in pre-asbestos ban buildings or across the world in developing countries such as India and China."
Claiming 100 percent asbestosis compensation
Despite being a naturally occurring mineral, asbestos is deadly to humans and can cause a variety of terminal health conditions such as lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis.
Across the UK, the workers most at risk of developing an asbestos-related illness are those who worked in asbestos-reliant industries in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Typically, these people will have worked in places such as Manchester, Bradford, Hull, Bristol, Cardiff, Newport, Leeds, Birmingham, Nottingham, Newcastle, Sunderland and areas of Scotland.
